Team Liquid vs LYON match analysis
LYON showcased a high level of skill in the recent match against Cloud9, but it isn’t a stretch to say that much of that was because of Cloud9’s terrible picks. Still, LYON’s Saint is a powerhouse in the middle lane and could definitely give Liquid’s Quid a run for his money, making the middle lane close to a coin toss.
The one lane where Team Liquid has a major advantage is the top lane. Morgan is arguably the most reliable top laner in the region, and while Dhokla is a good player, Liquid has a better chance of coming out on top. This suggests that the bottom lane will likely be the determining factor in this match. Liquid has the better ADC with Yeon, but LYON’s Isles is an excellent support player who will likely influence the match beyond the laning phase.

Both teams are fairly close in terms of skill, which makes much of the match a coin toss. Still, LYON’s early game is usually better, which could make it the pick for getting first blood. The other objectives, including dragon, turret, and Baron, could go to either team, since both teams have decent junglers.
As for the winner, Liquid has been far more consistent than LYON. The team glided past every other team in the playoffs, even if LYON will likely be its toughest opponent yet. While there’s a good chance that the team to get the initial advantage will take it all before the match goes the distance, potentially making it a good idea to take the under on 4.5 maps being played, it wouldn’t be surprising if Liquid pulled off an upset to come out on top.
